“I might say it's one of the best jobs, but I do know what you mean,” said Nairn, who plays Hodor in Game of Thrones.

Isaac Hempstead-Wright, who plays Bran Stark, and Nairn were in Toronto Tuesday to promote the same-day launch of the third season of Game of Thrones on Blu-ray and DVD across Canada. The fourth season of Game of Thrones debuts April 6 on HBO Canada.

The “worst job” discussion came up because, after all, Hodor has to carry around young teenager Bran, who is paralyzed from the waist down. And Hodor gets to express all of his emotions by being able to speak only one word, “Hodor.”

Nairn is seven feet tall, but still, you know? So does Hempstead-Wright make up for it by having to bring Nairn cookies on set or anything like that?

“Maybe I should – naw, not gonna happen,” joked Hempstead-Wright.

“Sometimes I get thinking it would be nice to get a 'thank you' every now and then,” Nairn replied.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” said Hempstead-Wright, chuckling as he gave Nairn a hug. It was a truly heartfelt Game of Thrones moment, from two actors – and characters – who truly rely upon each other.

Looking ahead to season four of Game of Thrones, Nairn summarized what's in store.

“The pressure is increasing and the characters are feeling it,” Nairn said. “They're weary. They're tired. And that's because things are getting even more serious.”
